Next start you can reverse that, usually you don't have anymore problems. But wouldn't I lose all of my scenery, etc?

We should not have to go through all this stuff just to get an update, but I have to say, the performance improvement is incredible. So delete the /onestore folder entirely? That won't screw anything up?

July 29, 20214 yr No -- just the last (top) file folder from the update! (This assumes that the files are listed in order of loading, so the Update files will be the most recent.) When I then re-started MSFS it re-loaded the remaining files and completed the Update. Edited July 29, 20214 yr by cobalt

(This assumes that the files are listed in order of loading, so the Update files will be the most recent.) When I then re-started MSFS it re-loaded the remaining files and completed the Update. i'd say 90% of files in the Onestore folder are dated yesterday. If I put the most recent on top the folder is asobo-aircraft-b787-10. Delete that one?

So e.g. you rename your community to folder to "xcommunity", starting MSFS you will have a new empty "community" folder and your old "xcommunity" folder. So now you can re-rename or rather just move single addons over, if you fear incompatibily. For transparency: I'm a community mentor at the BATC discord. However, I do not get paid for it in any way.

Delete that one? Yes, and you can also try deleting more than one folder. I have to say, when I first tried this it did not work. I then deleted ALL the files from the Update (identified by the fact that they were all within the last two days), and re-loaded the entire Update. This went well until it got to 99+ % complete, at which point the last file hung (as I reported earlier). I then exited the sim, removed the last (top) folder in OneStore, and re-started. This time it worked. Whether this works for anybody else remains to be seen -- I certainly hope it does. Incidentally I told ZenDesk about this, no reply yet.

To be clear, I was able to completely update to SU5, my issue is when going in to load a flight.

July 29, 20214 yr Hmmm. Different problem from the one I described. Sounds like an issue for ZenDesk.
July 29, 20214 yr Might be related, biut I can't load at any airports, the sim just freezes 3/4 into the loading bar. I haven't touched the sim since yesterday, and I flew several times yesterday. it's also happening with no addons installed what the hell Edited July 29, 20214 yr by Tuskin38

I did a re-install and have the same issue. The install is vanilla with no addons or anything in the Community folder. Please provide any solutions you tried. Thanks.,
